PREDICTED MODEL — NOT VERIFIED
computed by MolGod Scientific · experimental feature (beta) · may contain errors

No source 3-D conformer was available to MolGod for this substance. MolGod Scientific computed this geometry from the structural formula with RDKit 2026.03.6 (ETKDGv3 conformer generation, UFF force-field optimisation; lowest-energy converged conformer of a fixed-seed set). It is not a measured structure, it does not come from PubChem, and it has not been compared with experimental data. It shows one possible conformation.

PREDICTED 3D molecular model (computed by MolGod Scientific, not verified) of Silica (CAS 60676-86-0), ball-and-stick representation, rendered from the MolGod STL fileDownload image


Rendered from this exact STL file, not from a second source. Single material — the STL format carries no colour channel. Colours in the preview are assigned by the renderer from the element palette and are not part of the downloadable geometry.

Engraved variant

PREDICTED 3D molecular model (computed by MolGod Scientific, not verified) of Silica (CAS 60676-86-0), engraved variant: element symbols recessed into each atom sphere, rendered from the MolGod STL fileDownload image

The element symbol is cut into the sphere, not printed on it. That single difference is what this variant is for.

Why the preview looks the way it does. A carved letter has no colour of its own — on a pale atom it would disappear into the highlight. The preview is rendered from the mesh itself with ray-traced cavity shading, so recesses darken because they are recessed, not because we painted them. What you see is the geometry you will receive. The element colours follow the same palette as the interactive viewer on this site, so the model and the viewer never disagree about what an atom is.

Element symbols are recessed into the atom spheres. Mesh: 64,918 triangles versus 1,344.

Recommended print scale: FDM (0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer) at least 5.7 mm per Å (model about 17 mm across); resin printer (50 µm) at least 1.4 mm per Å (about 5 mm). Below this scale the engraved symbols become too fine to print. The printer limits are typical values assumed by MolGod, not a test of your printer.

Artefact

FormatSTL (binary). Coordinate convention: ångström (Å) — STL itself stores no unit metadata. Slicers read STL as millimetres by default, so set the scale deliberately before printing.
Print scaleRecommended print scale: FDM (0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer) at least 3.4 mm per Å (model about 13 mm across); resin printer (50 µm) at least 0.5 mm per Å (about 2 mm). Below this scale the thinnest bond cylinders become too thin to print. The printer limits are typical values assumed by MolGod, not a test of your printer.

Mesh3 atom spheres + 4 bond cylinders (one, two or three per bond, by bond order), each a closed outward-oriented solid; the solids intersect by design.
Atomic radiivan der Waals radii from the versioned MolGod table MG2, values from Bondi 1964 (doi:10.1021/j100785a001), checked against the original publication: Table I, p. 443. Used in this model: O 1.52 Å, Si 2.10 Å†.
†Si: 2.10 Å as printed in the original (Bondi 1964, Table I, p. 443); later compilations quote Alvarez 2013 Table 1 (doi:10.1039/c3dt50599e): 2.22 Å. We use the value printed in the original. Alvarez 2013 also cites Bondi's later paper (1966, doi:10.1021/j100881a503), which we have not read; the 2.22 Å value may come from there.
The file header declares vdw:MG2.

The STL format stores no bond-order or colour metadata. Bond order is therefore shown geometrically — one, two or three cylinders per bond, following the PubChem Kekulé structure, in both the canonical and the engraved variant — and preserved as data in this record and in the accompanying metadata.

Source representationPubChem record used for identity and connectivity only (SMILES, InChIKey). no source 3D conformer was available to MolGod for this substance; the geometry is a PREDICTED conformer computed by MolGod Scientific and is not verified.
Source rights basisNCBI Molecular Data Usage Policy. NCBI does not itself restrict use or redistribution of molecular data, but does not transfer rights that individual depositors may hold.
Rights assessmentundetermined — MolGod's own determination that this computed conformer may serve as the geometric basis of a derived mesh. This is not a licence grant by the source. The measured basis is that the conformer is computed by PubChem rather than deposited by a third party. A formal legal assessment of downstream rights has not been carried out; that risk is accepted explicitly and recorded in the MolGod decision register (2026-09-25).
Assessment scopeThis assessment covers only the computed 3D conformer used as geometric input. It does not extend to depositor data obtained from PubChem — names, spectra, physicochemical values or anything else.
